Both Jiang Jiancheng and Yang Jing drank too much, Jiang Jianping hooked up with him and talked drunk, Zhang Lin didn't intend to listen.He was sitting in the yard writing a diary with his mobile phone, and while writing, he heard Jiang Jiancheng say: "I want to get a piece of land next to me now, to build a house for Xiaofei to marry a wife, but the fucking township government. Just refuse to approve."

Yang Jing: "He's only eighteen, so you worry about his marriage. I'm not in a hurry when I'm 28."

Jiang Jiancheng's face was flushed after drinking, and he patted Yang Jing's shoulder: "How can he compare with Police Officer Yang. My son is still young and has no brains. I can't worry about him."

"Why don't you consider buying one in the new area outside?" The third child asked.

Jiang Jiancheng shook his head with a very conflicted expression, "Don't buy it, don't buy it. Those of us who are used to living in mountains are not used to living in such tall houses."

The third child nodded and echoed casually: "Indeed, the air in the mountains is pretty good."

He took a puff on his cigarette, and suddenly thought of something to say: "Captain, don't you have a classmate named Sun, who works in that...that place."

He tapped his head and couldn't think of it for a moment.

Gao Yan swirled the wine glass, he said there was such a person, and he looked at Jiang Jiancheng: "I'll ask him for dinner some other day."

Jiang Jiancheng was overjoyed: "Don't bother."

Gao Yan: "It's okay."

Zhang Lin frowned, suddenly he heard the elder sister calling him, it was Li Xiu'e crying in the room looking for Jiang Xiaoyun.A woman's weeping came from the room behind, and it was particularly haunting in this silent night.

Jiang Jiancheng's face became ugly, he stared and cursed in embarrassment: "This crazy woman..."

Zhang Lin walked to the window and saw Li Xiu'e holding a small quilt in her hand under the incandescent light, muttering something in her mouth.

Zhang Lin listened for a while, but was too vague to hear clearly.He pulled the high wooden stool over and sat down and said, "Mom, are you still awake?"

Li Xiu'e stopped when she saw her: "Yunyun, you have grown up so much."

Zhang Lin smiled.

Li Xiu'e threw away the small quilt in her hand, came over and climbed into the wooden cabinet to sit and talk to Zhang Lin.

While talking, Li Xiu'e said, "Yunyun, you haven't finished your homework yet."

Zhang Lin raised his forehead and said that I would write later.

Li Xiu'e frowned disapprovingly, and she said, "Today's work is over today."

Zhang Lin nodded: "Mom makes sense."

Li Xiu'e smiled, and happily got down from the high cabinet, walked to the bed, and came over from the wooden bench with a stack of things.

"It's time to write your summer homework. Don't put it off until the last few days. It's too late."

"I'm not a brother. I never delay my homework."

When he mentioned Jiang Xiaofei, Li Xiu'e showed no expression.She handed out a few pieces of paper through the window, and said with a smile, "Write quickly, if you don't understand, ask your elder sister when she comes into the mountain."

Oh, Zhang Lin, he took it over and took a closer look. It was a math simulation test paper, the paper was yellow, and he didn't know how many years it had been.

Under Li Xiu'e's expectant eyes, Zhang Lin took a ballpoint pen to do the math papers in the middle of the night, and almost fell asleep lying on the window afterwards.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Lin and his eldest sister finished cooking jelly and bean curd, and then took Xiao Bai out.He planned to go to Longtan to have a look.Yesterday he heard those people gossiping about Longtan drowning several people every year. At that time, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Longtan was just a little downstream from Jiang Xiaoyun's washing clothes at that time, and the distance was not very far.

There are many birds in the mountains, chirping, Zhang Lin walked along a small winding dirt road amidst the chirping of the birds, Xiao Bai followed behind, it was very active, sometimes darting into the bushes, sometimes jumping into the thatch pile .From time to time, with a sparrow in his mouth or something, he ran to Zhang Lin and wagged his tail.

Zhang Lin ignored it at first, until it bit a bloody quail and ran over, the sweet potato in Zhang Lin's hand couldn't be eaten anymore.

His head was dizzy for a while: "You are so dirty, stop calling you Xiaobai, call him Xiaohei."

Xiaobai followed Zhang Lin all over the mountains this month, and grew up a lot. The grown-up little dog has become very fond of hunting, and catching birds is basic.There is no cat at home, and Zhang Lin has received a mouse he caught under the bed.

On the day he received the mice, he knew that there were mice in the room he slept in, and there was at least one litter, because Xiao Bai could catch one every day, big, medium and small, and even some pink eyes hadn't been opened yet. , was just born, Zhang Lin guessed that there should be a family living in their home.

Zhang Lin said at the breakfast table that he wanted to ask the neighbor for a cat to raise.

The eldest sister said: "It's coming, Xiaobai will lose his job."

Jiang Jiancheng said: "It's okay to have mice. I'm used to it. If they don't make some noise at night, Dad won't be able to sleep well."

With two negative votes, Zhang Lin's plan to raise a cat fell through.

Jumping off a huge rock, Zhang Lin arrived at the edge of Longtan. He sat down on a dry rock and folded his trousers a few times. When he came down, his trousers were wet from the dew on the grass, and his shoes A little wet and uncomfortable to wear.

Although it was still early, there were already many people in the pool, including on the shore.

There was a tall waterfall on the top of Longtan. Amidst the splashing sound of water, Zhang Lin saw a few young men in red underpants laughing and jumping off the top one by one, as if they were eating dumplings.These people seemed to be from other villages, and some of them knew Jiang Xiaofei, and greeted them with a smile.

What happened here the day before yesterday did not affect their interest in playing at all. Zhang Lin walked around the small pool without any clues.Instead, he saw Xu Xiaobo. He was followed by several people, some men and some women. The men jumped off first, and then turned around to take care of the girls.

When they all came down, a voice said in surprise: "Boss, you come to play too."

It was the girl with the ponytail that day, she was with Xu Xiaobo and the others.

Zhang Lin greeted with a smile, and the girl with ponytail blushed and said, "What a coincidence."

Xu Xiaobo hehe: "What a coincidence, he lives in the mountains."

Zhang Lin was curious: "You guys know each other."

"We are a factory."

Oh, Zhang Lin, Xu Xiaobo glanced at the ponytail girl, and after he finished watching, he glared at Zhang Lin, his eyes were about to breathe fire.

Zhang Lin had something on his mind, so he didn't stay long, chatted a few words and left.

After that day, he took the time to go to the back hill of the reservoir management office and squat several times, looking at the clubhouse opposite with his binoculars. Unfortunately, since the fat man was arrested, the place has become quieter than before.After watching for a long time, I could occasionally see cars coming in and out, but I couldn't see a single person.

One day Zhang Lin saw Yang Jing fishing by the reservoir again, so he went over to talk to him.

When we were chatting, Zhang Lin realized that Gao Yan got some clues from the fat man these days, and went to G city to cast a net in person.

Zhang Lin asked: "Then has anyone caught it now?"

Police Officer Yang gave him a sideways glance and smiled, "Your boy is very curious, so I won't tell you."

Zhang Lin lowered his eyes and stopped talking. A cloud of dark clouds floated over from the sky, and after a while, heavy rain poured down from the mountains.Officer Yang, however, sat motionless on the ponytail.

Zhang Lin ran into the management office and shouted outside, "Officer Yang, come in to hide from the rain."

Yang Jing said: "Don't hide. The bigger the rain, the easier it is to catch fish."

I don't know if it's good to catch Zhang Lin, but he stayed in the management office all afternoon and the rain didn't stop.It even rained intermittently for several days, and even fewer people entered the mountain.

In the evening of that day, there was still the sound of 'crackling' raindrops outside, and the humidity in the air was so heavy that the whole mountain seemed to be soaked in rainwater.There is no business at home these days, so Zhang Lin sits on the threshold and writes a diary on his mobile phone.

After finishing writing, I raised my mobile phone to look for signals everywhere, and occasionally caught some weak signals, and clicked to send immediately.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the signal grid was circling. Zhang Lin waited boredly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a car entering in the rain. It looked familiar. He had been in it before.

There was one more person on the dinner table at home in the evening.

Officer Gao had a rare smile on his face, he drank two glasses of wine in one breath and said, "Uncle Jiang, he has been caught."

Jiang Jianping nodded, with wet eyes: "Just catch it, just catch it."

Gao Yan said, "I can finally catch my breath."

Jiang Jianping patted him, sighed and chatted about Gao Zhendong, Zhang Lin listened while eating rice, but didn't hear much, the eldest sister called him again, and Li Xiu'e cried for Jiang Xiaoyun.Zhang Lin put down his chopsticks and went to the back room.

Standing under the eaves and chatting with Li Xiu'e for a while, Zhang Lin felt something moving behind him, so he turned his head.

There was a figure in the darkness, and Zhang Lin was puzzled: "Officer Gao, what are you doing standing here?"

The air smelled of alcohol, Gao Yan said vaguely, "I'm looking for a toilet."

"The toilet is over there, you haven't been there before."

Gao Yan said, "Oh, I went wrong."

As he spoke, he turned and headed towards the toilet, Zhang Lin looked at his back thoughtfully.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, the rain outside did not stop, the thunder was rumbling, and a lightning struck down, illuminating the distant hills.Gao Yan and Jiang Jianping were still drinking in the main room, but they were no longer chatting.Zhang Lin walked through the main room and wanted to turn on the TV, but Jiang Jianping was drunk and said, "Xiao Fei, it's thundering, don't burn the TV down."

Zhang Lin groaned, the TV couldn't be watched, and the mobile phone had no signal. He said, "I'm going back to bed."

Jiang Jianping said: "Brother Gao Yan should sleep in your room tonight, he drank too much."

Gao Yan looked too drunk: "No, I'll let the third child pick it up."

Jiang Jianping disagreed: "It's raining so hard, don't let him come. Just sleep at home."

Gao Yan reluctantly said yes.
